In spring ball Todd Grantham was experimenting with dropping Harvey-Clemons into a linebacker spot on obvious passing downs (Kam Chancellor style) and bringing in another safety behind him.

Also, keep an eye on Chucky Williams who will start along side Harvey-Clemons this fall. There's some meat on that bone that you may like as the season progresses.
 
I'm sure this question will get asked way too many times over the next year, but - how does Cravens compare to Shaq Thompson?
 
There's a human walking around with the name Weston Steelhammer? And he's a safety?

I'm sold. Trade up to #1 overall. This guy has to be on my team.

Great name for a safety.... and this kid can play.

One of the things that always stuck out to me when evaluating this safety class is the fact that Georgia has shown the door to 2 safeties that are better than what some teams are trotting out there on Sundays.
 
Josh Harvey-Clemons looked like luke warm dog **** today against FSU. Poor in coverage, poor effort tackling, and poor pursuit angles.
 
Yeah, Josh Harvey-Clemons is garbage. Georgia can have him back. Pitt picked on his coverage skills last night, his man, or man he was supposed to be covering, or a man he was helping to cover was responsible for at least 2 TDs. He needs to be moved to OLB because he couldn't cover a bed with a sheet. I can only guess the reason he's still in the starting lineup after so many lackluster and poor efforts is because we don't have a competent backup for him.
 
I think Ramsey is better suited to FS. He can take over games there. He's a good CB, but he just looks to have the perfect instincts you look for in free safety, with all the physical tools.
